My husband recently upgraded to an AM4 platform. His issue is that there is no display. The gpu fans look like they are trying to start, but cannot. Additionally, there is no POST sound and the power button, while able to turn on the pc, will not turn it off. The lights on the motherboard work, as do the cpu fans and case fans.

I told him i think its a short, but he says the case has preinstalled standoffs. My other suspicion is a bad PCI-E port. It is a used motherboard.

Specs: Processor: Ryzen 1700 Motherboard: B350M Gaming Pro MSI RAM: DDR4 XPG Adata GPU: GTX 1060 6gb Also tried: Radeon R7 250

Thanks in advanced!

Edit: Oh wow so many posts! I’ll try various solutions and keep you all updated on what work.

    So it turns out the CPU light is on, guessing its a bad cpu. Not sure how its bad, it was fine in my computer. Gonna test a new cpu on it.

        Nah the mobo supports first and second gen ryzen. We tried another motherboard and it had the same issue, so im think the cpu got borked in the transfer from my pc to his somehow. Mind you, i made that pc like right when Ryzen came out, so it is an old motherboard, and i wasnt the kindest to it when i was younger (as in like 5 years ago.) I dont think its his psu, its 750 watt bronze and is fairly new.
